Two color quilt
I surprised myself how much I loved to cut all these pieces - 4.5 yards of fabric. I am anxious to piece them- I am making a two-color quilt. I hardly found a 2.5 yard piece of fabric in my stash. It's green, of course. It has to be washed and bound by Friday! Let's see if I can do it. Do you use price tags? I find a use for them all the time! Let's sew now! Geta Edited to … [Read more...]
Perfect binding
It's the first time I stitched an almost perfect binding! I used this technique by Sharon Schamber and glue and an iron. I saw this technique years ago but only now I tried it. Read more about the many uses of glue -"Glue Basting Basics". Definitely, something we should use more often. Geta … [Read more...]

New Raw Edge Applique Quilt and Pattern
Here is my new quilt - "Color Your World'. The center design measures only 26'' and the quilt is 34''. This is a similar design with Windows into my World. This pattern is one of my best selling patterns and I did not expect that, because English paper piecing requires a lot of time! So I thought to design something similar but: - with more blocks and more colors - more complex design - … [Read more...]

My New Raw Edge Applique Quilt and Pattern
I made this quilt thinking of you! I wanted to make something similar with this quilt but at the same time something that can be made in days and not months or years! And what technique is faster than raw edge applique? (Ok, maybe this one?) The quilt is 55'' and the flower sphere measures 42''- a manageable size! Are you bored with my feathers on hexy flowers? All the fabrics are Kona … [Read more...]
Free Quilt Designs
For my newsletter subscribers. For May, June, July! It's not that I did not have time for the monthly newsletter. The inspiration just did not hit me the way I wanted! Lately I like to quilt feathers on everything! I love how easy it is to fill any space with feathers. So I thought that these designs are great to practice quilting feathers. They look great as fusible raw edge appliques. … [Read more...]
Basting a quilt sandwich
How do you baste your quilts ? When I started quilting, I basted some quilts with thread. I did not like it at all. Now, after many hand pieced hexagons, I don't think this is such a terrible thing to do. Then I tried safety pins - huge holes appeared in the fabric - unsightly! I just couldn't use them. Then I started to use pins and loved it; now I always use pins. The basting is fast and … [Read more...]
New Hint!
Not much achieved this week. I washed and bound three quilts and took tons of pictures. Still I don't have good pictures. Here is the binding attached. And the quilting on the background. I thought only pebbles is boring so that here and there I quilted some flowers. Do you want another hint? How about the technique? This is a quilt I made probably 10 years ago. Each piece was … [Read more...]
